Owens had tried to cross Solomon's Island Road, running in front of two vehicles, according to police. The first managed to stop, but the second, a 2007 Jeep Wrangler, hit her, police said.

It was raining heavily at the time of the crash and Owens was wearing dark colored clothing and crossing while traffic had a green light, police said.

There was no evidence that the driver of the vehicle, identified as 26-year-old Johnathan Paul Shipp, was speeding or under the influence of drugs or alcohol, police said. Neither Shipp nor his passenger Stephanie Ann Casciero, 27, were injured in the crash.
